The Richard E. Berry Educational Support is a multi-purpose sports complex located in Cypress, Texas. It was completed in March 2006 and consists of five separate facilities: an arena, stadium, theater, conference center and food production center. It was named after former Cy-Fair ISD superintendent Richard E. Berry. It serves as one of the two football stadiums used by CFISD, the other being Ken Pridgeon Stadium.

Amenities include an 11,000-seat athletic stadium, a 15,333-square-foot (1,424.5 m2) conference center used for staff development, which can be partitioned into 17 rooms, a 456-seat auditorium, a multi-purpose arena designed for a maximum capacity of 9,500 people with 8,300 fixed seats, and a floor banquet seating and catering facility to accommodate the preparation and serving of 1,000 meals.

In May of 2016, the naming rights to the stadium were sold to Cy Fair Federal Credit Union, and the stadium was renamed as Cy Fair FCU Stadium for US $1.5 million to be paid over the span of 10 years.[1]
